[QUOTE="Star*, post: 264105, member: 4964"] GET ON MEDICAID NOW - as fast as you can - CALL AROUND to therapeutic foster care places, or group homes and get your application in NOW - tell them you have medicaid. It will take just about the same amount of time for your daughter to come home and fall apart as it will for you to get approved. That way by the time things DO fall apart? You'll be looking at XX weeks to a bed and not XX months. AND in the event that your daughter DOES do well? Then you can cancel the entire bed/therapy thing and be someone elses savior because there are always kids waiting on a bed. You have got to get Medicaid - and/or Katie Beckett waiver (if you make more than the guidelines for medicaid) and you need to start calling places NOW.....we did this the last time and OMG was I EVER thankful. Also - it wouldn't hurt for you to start filling out SSI disability paperwork - more funding coming in means better chance at placement. (sorry to say) [/QUOTE]
